Part 2: It's Black, Very Black

For today's stash-reducing-attempt I'm cracking on with a scarf I started so long ago it's become Stash again, if I'm honest.

Black,VeryBlack is a man's scarf that's for sure... I'm seeing off 2 balls of R2 black something, it's odd stuff R2, not keen on naming itself or giving away tension, needle size etc, anyway the one I got (in a discontinued sale bin in hobbycraft) is a lovely soft short fuzzy kind of thing, and I've been embellishing with Patons Spirit (grey/black) um, also bought as a 'bargain', you'll notice a theme here, hence the self-imposed yarn ban!

Black is garter stitch either end (R2 and Spirit) for a couple of inches, then moss stitch in between in just R2 - I'm going to make a kind of hole in one end for tucking the first end through, have seen this done but not attempted it... yet! And, I'll be doing it without a safety net...! Tomorrow though, or the day after...

Also, just finished today is Shiver - the snuggly fate of an unbanded ball of fuzzy black yarn (yes, in a bargain bin, ok, I have a problem and I'm dealing with it, OK!) anyway, the fuzzy snuggly black lovely yarn has shimmery black bits in it too and a big ball of I guess 100g was enough to make a very simple short sleeve shrug, everso everso cosy and just the thing for wearing with a strappy vest for an evening out - that' my story and I'm sticking with it. So that's just finished and I'm wearing it now, with trackpants, it's gorgeous. Pics will follow...

Tea Bag is, um, not quite finished...
